Ok, I have heard this idea from different people on different occasions, who had nothing to do with each other, but growing up in the church I have always been told hell is supposed to be hot. I know there is evidence in the Bible for the idea that it is hot, but apparently, there is some scientific theory thing floating around that explains a complex idea that hell is going to be cold.

Does anybody know what this is about?

Yes But Science cannot possibly determine wether Hell is Cold or Hot
It's God's Choice not Science's assumtions.

I'm not saying I believe it, but I want to understand what is being said. I want to be able to understand what this theory is, so I can argue against it. You have to understand why another person believes what they do before you can begin to challenge their belief. I am currently trying to minister to a classmate of mine, who is ... obsessed with hell. I just want to know what the theory is and any other ideas about hell.

(Well Heres My best act for somone who believes the theory.)
Well Hell is in a whole different dimension I assume that because there is no Sun to heat anything there
so It must be cold.
(Did i do it right?)

This is the first time I've heard this, but I really don't get why it would make any sense.

We a) go to Sheol to await the return of Christ and b) those who did not trust in Christ are hurled into the "lake of sulfur."

After those are thrown in and destroyed(the second death), death is thrown in and destroyed as a symbol of finality.
(I can get the scripture references if you'd like)

And it doesn't really matter cuz either way it's the end and I can't imagine it lasts very long.

(Oh, and if you think I have no clue on this stuff, I've read the whole bible and am something of a student on this kind of stuff)

I've heard that. I don't really remember all the details but I think it has something to do with the pressure or something weird like that.

Of course, in Dante's Inferno the ninth circle of hell is cold (or is it the eight? In either case, it's right before you get to Satan chewing on Judas, Cassius, and Brutus.) Dante is also where we get the idea for hell being hot too.

Anyway, hell is a place for the soul, not the body, so the temperature seems very irrelevant to me. I don't know that hell is even really a physical place.

Science doesn't say anything about Hell specifically. But maybe you're talking about the absolutely amazing response given by a college student to a final exam question:

Quote:
Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, "why do airplanes fly?" on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: "Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof."

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

"First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.

Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:

1. If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
1. If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, "that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you" and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic."

The student, Tim Graham, got the only A.

I know all of that. I am not asking about the Biblical perspective because I understand that quite well. I am asking about this theory to better be able to understand why my friend and other people I have met think this.

You may think it is not important, but it really is to some people. Hell is one thing that actually keeps people from believing in God. A lot of people are trying to undermind the power of Hell by saying it is not that bad or that it is cold instead of hot. People are trying to make hell into a party place. I know so many people that don't even want to hear about Christ because they are completely unafraid of going to hell. A lot of people don't want "salvation" because they don't think there are consequences for their actions or they don't believe those consequences are very severe. I don't need to know this information for my benefit, but to try and understand why my friends believe what they do.

That sounds about right. Well, apparently this guys answer has spread like fire because I was actually introduced to this idea by a teacher of mine in high school all the way over here in West.

Actually Still it's not Science that chooses or proves anything
And You cannot just say something like this and be right about it
And Lethkar Even Boyle could never compare to God.
